Answer:

The smallest distance the student that the student could be possibly be from the starting point is 6.5 meters.

Explanation:

For 2 quantities A and B represented as

$A\pm \Delta A$ and $B\pm \Delta B$

The sum is represented as

$Sum=(A+B)\pm (\Delta A+\Delta B)$

For the the values given to us the sum is calculated as

$Sum=(2.9+3.9)\pm (0.1+0.2)$

$Sum=6.8\pm 0.3$

Now the since the uncertainity inthe sum is $\pm 0.3$

The closest possible distance at which the student can be is obtained by taking the negative sign in the uncertainity

Thus closest distance equals $6.8-0.3=6.5$ meters

a) The wind is generated because there are different values of pressure in the amtophera. That is, it is generated due to a pressure difference between two atmospheric points. Generally the movement is performed when the air travels from the highest pressure point, to the lowest pressure point. This is also a direct cause of different types of wind speeds.

b) If the cloud moves from one direction to another, it will indicate that from the starting point the pressure is higher, and the point towards which it is directed, the pressure is lower. If we place this on a Cartesian plane with reference to the cardinal points, we can know the approximate place or area where the pressures are different.

Nonmetals in the periodic table have a negative oxidation number. Which statement best explains why?

Tema [17]

They have a negative oxidation number because nonmetals gain electrons, thus making them negatively charged ions (anions). Metals become cations and have a positive charge because they lose electrons.

Water flows without friction vertically downward through a pipe and enters a section where the cross sectional area is larger. T

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

$v_{2}$ will be less than $v_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ will be greater than $P_{1}$ .

Explanation:

As we know from the conservation of mass, the rate at which any amount of fluid mass ( $m_{1}$ ) is entering in a system is equal to the rate at which the same amount of fluid mass ( $m_{2}$ ) is leaving the system.

Rate of mass flow can be written as,

$m = \rho A v$

where $\rho$ is the density of the fluid, $A$ is the area through which the fluid is flowing and $v$ is the velocity of the fluid.

Now, according to the problem, as the density of the fluid does not change, we can write

$&& m_{1} = m_{2}\\&or,& \rho A_{1} v_{1} = \rho A_{2} v_{2}\\&or,& \dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \dfrac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}$

where $A_{1}$ and $A_{2}$ are the cross-sectional areas through which the fluid is passing and $v_{1}$ and $v_{2}$ are the velocities of the fluid through the respective cross-sectional areas.

As according to the problem, $A_{2} > A_{1}$ , so from the above formula $v_{2} < v_{1}$ .

Also we know that fluid pressure is created by the motion of the fluid through any area. When the fluid gains speed, some of its energy is used to move faster in the fluid’s direction of motion. It causes in a lower pressure.

So, as in this case $v_{2} < v_{1}$ the pressure in the large cross-sectional area $P_{2}$ will be greater than the pressure $P_{1}$ in the small cross sectional area, i.e.,

$P_{2} > P_{1}$ .
